I grew up surrounded by dogs, not only of my own, but also from other family members. When I was 7 years old we got Tupã (German shepard mix), them Maya (German Shepard). After they passed Manolo (labrador retriever) came into my life and was the greatest gift in life. I saw him grow and become a father of five beautiful puppies. Most recently I spent ten days caring for Mayka (golden retriever) in France. I quickly adapted to her needs and we had a great time together at the beach and going for long walks. I have always been impressed about their capacity to learn, to adapt and to communicate with us humans. The greatest challenges of potty training and having dogs adapt to new spaces. Positive reinforcement is the best way help dogs overcome fear for new environments and experiences. I speak fluent Portuguese, Spanish, German and English, plus a bit French, in case you also want your pet to learn some tricks in other languages :D Before any stay, I will ask you for a quick meet & greet session to make sure your dog and I get along and share the same energy.
